OK is the front hitch for bikes for putting the trailer someplace you cannot back into or something else. Also I have to ask what is mushroom hunting.

I like the Bodiak front hitch. It clips to the front tow hooks in just a few seconds and is removed just as easily. It's on my wish list!

Morel mushrooms peak about 3 to 4 weeks after the snow is all gone (that's also about the time that the mosquitoes really get popular). Wild leeks (called Ramps) also sprout about the same time. Morels aren't grown commercially (to my knowledge) and up here, there are people who sell them by the pound. Cost for small, dried ones is about $100 a pound. There's a Morel Festival held in many small towns around Northern Michigan. One of the most "quaint" festivals is in Lewiston. They even have Morel Picking classes. If you decide to "wing it" and just go looking, keep in mind there is a "false morel" that looks very VERY similar and is poisonous.

As for taste, morels stuffed with venison sausage and sharp white cheddar, served with fresh "soft fried" potatoes and wild leeks............. Oh, did you just hear me scream outside for this WHITE STUFF to hurry up and melt??????????????

Speaking of venison sausage. I like the front hitch, but what a mess after a deer hit!

Very good and yes some warm weather would be nice, here in MA we had a couple days of 50's/60's but it is back to 20's/30's today. We are looking to book April 19th but waiting for the weather to change.

What campground are you looking at? We need to set up a shake-down weekend to check our new trailer and thought staying near home would be the best.
Thanks,
